Common use of Healthy Clause in Contracts

Healthy. I will strive to ensure that my child attends school clean, in uniform (if this poses a problem I will negotiate a solution with school), well rested, enjoying the healthiest diet possible and accessing physical activities outside of school (all to the maximum extent possible given his/her specific needs). I will seek to send in healthy snacks and/or packed lunches (if appropriate). I will strive to attend appointments and enact advice given by Health Professionals to promote the health of my child. I will support the healthy messages taught within school to actively involve my child in maximising their health. I hope to maximise my child’s happiness/mood/behaviour and greater access to learning by optimising my child’s health. I will keep my child at home (and inform school of the reason asap) or pick them up from school if they are too ill to learn effectively. This will also protect other pupils (some of whom are very vulnerable) and staff from acute risk of catching illnesses. I will promote school to my child as a positive opportunity and minimise their time away from school by seeking to avoid family holidays in school time. I will strive to ensure that my child attends school for each school day that they are well enough. I will support school in offering the widest positive life opportunities possible for my child providing appropriate precautions are taken to ensure that they can be assessed as low risk. I will support my child in completing and returning their homework or homework record as set by school. I will request more homework if I feel that it is beneficial and that I can support my child with this. I will celebrate the fact that I strive to offer my child as many opportunities to participate in family life, wider society and make friends as possible. As my child grows towards adulthood I will promote their independence through communication and/or supporting them to complete self-help tasks. I will work in partnership in school where we agree on the benefits of my child learning standardised systems of communication such as speaking appropriately to unfamiliar adults or signing, symbol systems or objects of reference so that they can successfully communicate with a wider circle of people. I will work in partnership with school where it is necessary to support my child with socially appropriate behaviour that will maximise their access to the wider world.
